I'm not much of a computer nut here and don't want to mess around my
system stuff or i'll end up recovering my whole computer.
When i start up my comp and login i get this prompt, "The procedure
entry point SHFlushClipboard could not be located in the dynamic library
SHELL32.dll."
I hit ok and my taskbar and icons go blank. After that some programs
run slower, downloading is a little slow, and gameplay is somewhat
laggy. I've never had a problem until that prompt and i'm not to sure
what brought it up.
Corrupt dll file? Do i need to replace it?

I recommend downloading and installing
MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and
SUPERAntiSpywaяe (SAS).

Do a full scan with MalwaяeBytes' and
SUPERAntiSpywaяe.

<http://www.superantispyware.com/>
After the software (SAS) is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in
Safe Mode.

Reboot

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in
Regular Mode.

Reboot

Both free versions of MBAM and SAS are on-demand scanners and offer no
'real-time' protection. Keep them installed and use them as
'second-opinion' scanner which is purposely (by design) recommended by
their respective authoяs.

I knew there was a piece of that question that I forgot to get to...

After scanning with SAS and MBAM

Type "cmd" into the Search box above the Start Button>and when cmd comes up
at the top of the Start menu>right click cmd and click "run as Admin" and
when the cmd prompt comes up at the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" no quotes
and let it run.

This may fix things quite a bit.

It replaces corrupt files with intact ones, if you're not familiar with it.
